Cosmetic Registration in India
All beauty products that are imported for sale in India need
to be registered with the licensing authority as defined
under Rule 21 of Drugs & Cosmetics Rules, 1945. A
regulatory consultant helps in import and registration as well
as in renewal of registered cosmetics with CDSCO in India.
They also assist permission for import of cosmetic for trial,
test, and analysis as well as repackaging for 100% export.
Below are some important points for importer:
The following documents are required to be
submitted for grant of registration certificate:
An application for issue of a Registration Certificate
for beauty products intended to be imported into In-
dia shall be made in Form 42 either by the authorized
agent or importer in India or by the subsidiary in India
authorized by the manufacturer and shall be accompa-
nied by a fee of two hundred and fifty US dollars or its
equivalent to Indian rupees for each brand of beauty products.

or more than one cosmetics manufactured by the same manufacturer: Provided that the cosmetics are manufactured at one
factory or functioning conjointly as a single manufacturing unit.A Registration Certificate, unless it is suspended or cancelled
will be valid for a period of three years from the date of its issue: Provided that if application for a fresh Registration Certif-
icate is made within six months before the expiry of the said certificate, the existing Registration Certificate will be deemed

registration certificate. In that case, the importer has to obtain necessary permission from CDSCO HQ. The importer must
give written statements that these products are not for domestic sale.For Import Cosmetics from China for R&D purposes
like packaging trials, consumer studies, shelf life studies and transportstudies, the registration certificate is not required. In
that case, also importer has to obtain necessary permission from CDSCO HQ and must give written an undertaking that these
products are not released for domestic sale.
